Airlines go back to boarding school to move fliers onto planes faster

Why trying to invent the wheel? It is almost there.
What about following a sequence which is already in place? It is something fair for everyone. Who check-in first will board first. There is a sequence number assigned automatically by the departure control system when the passenger checks in. That number could be used as a basis for boarding the passengers.
Regarding the congestion in the aisle, restrictions should be in place to prevent those who have bulky or overweight carry on items.
